ArcReader 10.1 Problems with GPSLayer

Question

I have 10 truck mounted netbooks running ArcReader and GPS layer.  These netbooks have been in use for 3+ years and we haven't had any problems until I recently upgraded to 10.1.  Version 10 worked fine.  Now in 10.1 when the GPS Layer is set to "Pan to Point" the Data View goes blank.  Just a white screen.  This only happens whe the "Pan to Point" option is checked.  Has anyone else ran into this problem?  Is there a work around?

I wanted to give an update for anyone interestedin this problem.  We loaded 10.1 on a couple brand new laptops with much better specs then the netbooks, but once the vehicles reach 35+ mph the screen freezes.  This appears to be a problem with GPS Layer or with the new ArcReader version 10.1.  I'd like to hear if anyone else is running into this problem or if they have a solution.

We've tested the same project on a more powerful laptop and it seems to perform fine.  The changes to 10.1 must have been just enough to make the performance specs of the netbooks insufficient.  I'll be testing this theory out on a few more laptops before we replace all of the netbooks.

Did you happen to find a solution to getting the GPS work in ArcReader 10.1?  Thanks  Steve
